Why should we all foot bill for facilities few use?

Regarding Dr. Daniel deLara’s complaint about high public tennis court fees [“Fees to play tennis on public courts is exorbitant,” Your Opinion, April 15]:

Every form of exercise — from baseball, soccer, football, to pilates, bowling, and yoga — requires some sort of fees and investment.

Tennis courts require maintenance and it’s unfair to put this burden on the backs of all for the enjoyment of a few. If you can’t afford the $200, then feel free to jog around your neighborhood to vent your aggression and combat your obesity.

Let our tax money be used to benefit the majority of the Staten Island population.
